Icons For Sale! Four Zagato-Bodied Rides Set To Hit The Auction Block

When it comes to iconic and eye-catching automobiles, Zagato has undoubtedly designed a few. The fabled Milanese coachbuilder is back in the news, celebrating their 100th anniversary in a special way. To commemorate 100 years of Zagato, RM Sotheby’s has assembled four Zagato machines for its May 25 sale at Villa Erba. The four rides include two Fiats, a Lancia and an Aston Martin that feature bodies by the sculptors at Zagato. In total, the four rides account for nearly $4 million worth of automotive design, and they will be hitting the auction block soon.

RM Sotheby’s Ian Kelleher stated: “What makes Zagato-bodied cars is that they just don’t look like anything else out there.” He went on to add “A designer like Pininfarina has a more classical approach to design and, in the end, often is more influenced by the manufacturer they’re working for. Zagatos always seem like they’re truly built as something separate from the manufacturer. That doesn’t always work out perfectly, but when it does, it is truly a unique creation.” The collection includes a 1955 Fiat 8V Zagato Coupe, rocking a modern approach with a sleek and stylish look. The rest of the rides in the collection include a 1959 Fiat-Abarth 750 GT “Double Bubble” by Zagato, a 1966 Lancia Flaminia Super Sport 3C 2.8 by Zagato and 2019 Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato Shooting Brake.
